Wayne Bezner Kerr says, "The aircraft will be rented from the East Hill Flying Club. Depending on the size of the people, the winner may be able to bring a friend or perhaps two children along. We will try to schedule it for a nice late evening and sunset cruise to see the beautiful agricultural landscapes on both sides of Cayuga lake, with a bit of sightseeing over Taughannock Falls."

Learning is better in community! We welcomed our 2 Learning is better in community! We welcomed our 2023 cohort of Incubator Farmers (most but not all pictured here) with orientation last week! As if starting to farm wasn't enough to keep them busy in the spring, we know that the new Incubator Farmers are occupied with family and job obligations as well. Farm Manager Cha Cha is arranging group and one-on-one training sessions with timing based around the new farmers' various schedules. The effort is worth it to ensure time isn't a barrier to participate in the program. Welcome, new farmers! 👏👏👏🌱 To a fruitful season ahead! 🌻🌾🥕 #groundswellcenter #farmeducation #regenerativeagriculture #sustainableagriculture #localfarming #localfood #climateresilence #ithaca #fingerlakes #upstateny #farmjustice #foodjustice
